Teaching and Research

Throughout his career, Dr. Goldstein has had a committment to teaching and the sharing of knowledge about spine surgery.

His first published research took place while still a medical student. Since that time, he has continued to publish and teach nationally and internationally. Today Dr. Goldstein serves as a Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery at the NYU School of Medicine, teaching spine surgery to a new generation of medical students.

In particular, Dr. Goldstein teaches about degenerative disc disease, and lumbar and cervical conditions and treatments. As a leader in the development of artificial discs, he is also a key figure in teaching these techniques, along with minimally invasive surgical approaches.

Beyond the teaching of diagnostics and technique, Dr. Goldstein imparts three main ideas to his students.

1. Keep the patient's best interest foremost.
2. Stay on top of all current developments.
3. Focus on evidence based medicine.
